In this week's video, I open up a pair of saildrives to replace the shaft seals. The first saildrive has no issues, but the second saildrive has a nasty surprise. The nut on the vertical shaft has somehow come loose and slowly been ground down to a lovely ...
In this week's video, it's time to rebuild the keel. Having done Athena's refit in Europe, this is also my first chance to use some different products from @TotalBoat. It was a great trip down memory lane to lay up fiberglass again. I'm a big fan of the lo...
In this week's video, Julian and I fix an annoying design flaw on their 44 ft Fountaine Pajot Helia. When it rains, the water from part of the hardtop drains into the cockpit, causing wet socks and other misery. Ava tours the Hunly submarine, and I make a ...
We take a short break from the oh glorious boat work and check out the interior of the Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 we're working on.

We're taking a bit of time off from Athena to help Ava's sister (Nina), and her husband (Julian) do a bit of work on their new (to them) 2018 Fountaine-Pajot Helia 44. Originally we were only going to be helping them for a couple of weeks, but it looks lik...
